So, if we find out that a handful of corrupted people employed a
dirty tactic, what should follow? Sure, let's convict those guys but after
that... Should everyone stop voting for the party they felt to represent them
the best, because of a couple of bad apples?

"A couple of bad apples"? Are you serious? You might want to study some recent history. It's always the conservatives spying on people and generally pulling dirty tricks. They're the scum of this world.

Comment I got one of those (Score 2) 183

I bought one about 3 years ago. The zipper broke and needed replacement. The plastic key hook in the right pocket broke. An inside pocket has a zipper that gets caught in the fabric every time I use it.

A look at my wardrobe seems to indicate that I'm not particularly abusive to my clothing.

The idea is good. The execution is not.

You didn't get it.

The question is: What is TPB doing that's different from what they did yesterday? Hint: Nothing.

What if they didn't "decide" to host 3D-printer files and I went there and uploaded one anyway? Hint: They would host it anyway.

This is just sensationalism to wow the low-IQ masses, this is NOT news. "Nerds" should know better.

SigmundFloyd writes: Following the news that Universal music filed a million-dollar lawsuit against Grooveshark in relation to alleged cases of copyright infringement, internal emails from the case have been made public, revealing the apparent audacity of Grooveshark business strategy.

Sina Simantob, Grooveshark chairman, wrote in a series of emails in 2009: "[...] we are achieving all this growth without paying a dime to any of the labels...we use the label's songs till we get a 100 (million) uniques, by which time we can tell the labels who is listening to their music, where, and then turn around and charge them for the very data we got from them [...]"

"...the copyright holders won't suffer because of it, since people eventually spend the money saved on entertainment products."

How do they reach that conclusion?

Exactly. The sentence you're quoting is 100% bullshit. Watch it being applauded on Slashdot as a prime example of logical thinking.

Thieves are often hypocrites as well.
